Chapter 330 Farewell

"Your Excellency, the Pope, what about the others from Shrek Academy..."

The others looked at Bibi Dong with grim expressions.

"No need to pursue them, it's useless."

Bibi Dong, holding the scepter and having recovered, spoke with a hint of weariness in her voice, her face solemn.

For years, she had been desperately training, finally reaching the Titled Douluo level.

Her greatest imaginary enemy was Tang Hao. Yet, facing him today, she realized that despite having the same spirit rings, her aura was far inferior to his.

"Tang Hao is still Tang Hao."

Her gaze deepened. The Clear Sky Douluo was one thing, but what she hadn't expected was that, apart from Tang Sui, whose situation was peculiar, another little girl from Shrek Academy was a ten-thousand-year spirit beast in disguise!

That was another living ten-thousand-year spirit ring!

A cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Issue an order. A warrant for Tang Sui's arrest. Anyone who merely sees her and provides valid information will receive a reward."

"What about the others from Shrek Academy?"

Gui Mei's brow furrowed, thinking of Flanders and the others whose whereabouts were unknown.

Bibi Dong's expression turned colder. "Even with my spiritual power, I cannot currently sense or scan the positions of the Shrek group. I presume Tang Sui used some special skill to teleport them all away. Pursuing them now would be futile."

"Pay no attention to them. The pressing matter now is to apprehend Tang Sui, and the other one... if I recall correctly, that beast's name is Xiao Wu?"

Yue Guan nodded. "Yes, Your Excellency, the Pope."

"Good, then proceed."

Bibi Dong turned away indifferently, the hem of her dark-patterned skirt sweeping an elegant arc in the air as she flicked her sleeve and departed.

Sooner or later, they would learn that the Spirit Hall was not a place they could enter and leave as they pleased!

Watching Bibi Dong's receding figure disappear into the devastated Papal Palace, the other Elder Consecrations of the Spirit Hall exchanged glances and vanished from their positions like streaks of light.

The remaining surviving Red Cardinals and the few remaining Hall Guards then stood up with pale faces and went to work on the warrant.

Hundreds of miles away, on a plain devoid of any sign of life for hundreds of meters, a black light membrane appeared out of thin air, like a cracked egg spilling its yolk and white.

Including Tang Hao, the Shrek group also comprised Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.

The blocked vision and spiritual perception of their surroundings sharpened. Tang Hao, his face pale, looked at the boundless plain, his expression changing drastically. "No... Sui Sui teleported us all out of Spirit City."

Within his spiritual power's perception range, there was not a trace of human habitation for hundreds of meters, nor any towns.

"Where is Sui Sui?! Did Sui Sui not teleport with us?!" Tang Hao frantically scanned the faces, seeing his eldest son, but not his youngest daughter...

Sui Sui...

Tang Hao's heart sank.

Chen Xin looked around. With his eyesight, he could naturally determine that they were likely far from Spirit City...

But where was Tang Sui?

Tang Sui sent them away, but where was she?

Master looked at the familiar faces in the group, his own face pale, but he couldn't see the one person he most wanted to see.

Sui Sui...

Dark light whistled across the bright blue sky.

The white clouds were dispersed by the rapidly moving black light, and after a while, they surged again with the wind's currents.

Feeling the residual energy within her dissipate like mist under the sun, "Tang Sui" flew rapidly along her instinct, sensing the direction with the most concentrated energy.

After passing over countless hills and spirit beast territories, she stumbled and landed in a mountain range.

The energy source that attracted her most seemed to be nearby, but as she looked around, she saw nothing but lush forests.

"Damn..."

Her vision began to darken, the last bit of energy depleted. In the center of seven slender dark gold masks, seven black and gold eyes slowly closed, dissipating into golden spirit particles in the air, vanishing along with "Tang Sui's" equally dark vision.

"Thump."

A dull thud echoed as she fell to the ground.

The birds in the forest, which had fallen silent upon sensing the terrifying aura from "Tang Sui," resumed their chirping after an unknown period.

However, after only a brief burst of song, the animals' precise instinct for danger sounded again.

The bird chirps stopped abruptly, and a pair of black boots landed silently on the damp earth. Su Dan Novel Network.

Shadows fell over the unconscious girl, who remained unresponsive even as someone approached.

"Oh? What have I found..."

A deep male voice echoed with a hint of playfulness.

A tall man stood against the light, his scarlet eyes, imbued with a thick scent of blood, like those of a beast, surveying the girl below with icy scrutiny. Blood was already seeping from her seven orifices, and her breathing grew weaker.

"A hapless spirit master."

The smell of blood spread, and the man's slightly dark lips curled into a cruel arc. He raised his hand, about to end the unfortunate soul who had fallen into his territory.

The wind carried the scorching scent of blood to his nostrils, and he paused his raised hand, a flicker of surprised uncertainty appearing on his handsome, yet sinister face.

The condensed spirit energy dissipated. He condescended to crouch down, reaching out to wipe away some of the mud on the girl's face. The warm blood seeping from the corner of her eye quickly cooled upon contact with his fingertip.

He lowered his eyes, brought that drop of blood to his nose, and sniffed it. A strange look crossed his eyes. "Spirit beast... No, this aura is clearly..."

As if he had realized something, a strange brilliance suddenly bloomed in his eyes, a fleeting look of pleasant surprise crossing his face.

The cold, bloody aura surrounding him visibly tinged with delight.

He reached out and scooped up the dying girl from the ground, holding her like a kitten, without any hint of disgust, into his embrace. His form slightly distorted in the air, and he vanished from the spot along with Tang Sui.
